[Verse 1]
All I gave to you
Was my heart, my keys, my bed, my home
All I gave to you
Was my time, my green, my favorite jeans, and everything you choose

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me how, how, how, how, how, how, how
Can you take all that, can you take all that?
Tell me how, how, how, how, how, how, how
Oh can you take off that
And give one thing back
Woah, oh

[Chorus]
Baby, all you gave me was
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic, plastic
How'd you make it feel like love?
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic rose
Baby, all you gave me was (all you gave me was)
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic, plastic (plastic, plastic)
How'd you make it feel like love? (make it feel like love)
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic rose

[Verse 2]
All I asked to you
Was to prove to me that you were real
All I need from you
Was the pose, the breath, the sun, and life
Something I can feel

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how
Can you fake all that, can you fake all that?
Tell me how, how, how, how, how, how, how
Can you fake all that?
'Cause when I look back
Woah, oh

[Chorus]
Baby, all you gave me was
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic, plastic
How'd you make it feel like love?
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic rose
Baby, all you gave me was (all you gave me was)
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic, plastic (plastic, plastic)
How'd you make it feel like love? (make it feel like love)
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic rose

[Bridge]
Woah
You were something beautiful, I know
I wonder why our love could never grow
But you just couldn't hide it anymore, anymore

[Chorus]
Baby, all you gave me was (all you gave me was)
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic, plastic (plastic, plastic)
How'd you make it feel like love?
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic rose (oh)
Baby, all you gave me was (all you gave me was)
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic, plastic (plastic, plastic, yeah)
How'd you make it feel like love? (make it feel like love)
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic rose (oh)

[Outro]
Plastic rose (yeah)
Baby, all you gave me was a plastic rose

Maroon 5 is an American pop rock band. They were originally formed in 1994 as Kara’s Flowers while they were still attending high school. They signed to Reprise Records and released an album, The Fourth World, in 1997. After a mediocre response to the album, the band parted with their record label and attended college, but in 2001, the band regrouped, added James Valentine to the lineup, and pursued a new direction under the name Maroon 5.

Their first big hit came in the form of “Harder to Breathe,” the edgier lead single from their debut, Songs About Jane. The continued success of that song and other singles “This Love,” “She Will Be Loved,” and “Sunday Morning” cemented the quintet as a pop-rock band to keep an eye out for.

However, for their second album, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, they switched to ambing up on slick pop production—and it worked for them. Lead single “Makes Me Wonder” jumped 63 places in one week to reach number one, becoming their first ever #1 single.
